[There was going to be a second series of Hall of Fame Elite 2-Packs (think Wild Samoans & Shango/Warrior) including Roberts/Austin, Duggan/Race, and The Von Erichs (Kerry & Kevin). Roberts/Austin/Race are available now in the third series of Walmart Exclusive Flashback Elites along with Steamboat. Duggan is still to come as a GameStop Exclusive RetroFest Elite figure. You could be 100% correct but I feel like those Elite packs were canceled way before he posted the instagram photos, of Kevin specifically in August. Seems like Kerry was planned for the Flashbacks and didn't make the solo release cut and then the rumor came we were getting Kevin, too. I definitely can't imagine them releasing Kevin without Kerry. Personally, I think we should be getting a new Kerry Elite release and I don't think very many people were asking for Kevin to get a second figure at all. I just find it hard to believe we were getting a second Kevin Elite, is really the basis of the theory. Regardless, seems like they were scrapped altogether. I hope if RetroFest keeps going that we get Kerry with robe.

It was a rumor on Instagram from a user that leaks information that's damn near 100% accurate. The prevailing theory is that Kerry and Kevin were getting a 2-pack in the Target line. So the same style release as the Revival with the tag titles and Bret and Shawn. However, that line was canceled. So we'll have to wait and see if either one or both get slotted in the line down the road. Either way, my assumption is that they are Basics and that is/was going to disappoint a lot of people anyway. There was going to be a second series of Hall of Fame Elite 2-Packs (think Wild Samoans & Shango/Warrior) including Roberts/Austin, Duggan/Race, and The Von Erichs (Kerry & Kevin). Roberts/Austin/Race are available now in the third series of Walmart Exclusive Flashback Elites along with Steamboat. Duggan is still to come as a GameStop Exclusive RetroFest Elite figure. Shame. I would have bought each of those two packs. I liked the first two, but those probably weren't the first two they should have started with to launch the two-pack line. Around me, Warrior and Shango sold just fine but the Samoans sat forever. I still hope we get another Texas Tornado, the Summer Slam 1990 attire with the long green robe would be awesome. He had some other colors they could choose from; purple, red, blue, green, and another white version with a Texas Tornado design on the back of the trunks (RR 92).

A possible Hall of Fame Elite Kerry (DPCI: 087-06-4586) and the proposed Hall of Fame Elite Kerry & Kevin 2-Pack (DPCI: 087-06-9674) definitely predate any talk of a Hall of Champions or Flashback Elite Texas Tornado figure. I never saw anything that would link Kerry to either of those two series, but it certainly could have been in consideration. A RetroFest Elite Texas Tornado would be perfect.

They're going to scrap the Elite Money in the Bank Carmella figure with a new attire that represents her updated one piece bikini look.
An Elite Hurricane will be announced
We're going to get another Elite Braun Strowman, this time with the correct boots and "get these hands" t shirt. (They're going to use the same tshirt that came with the NWO Giant)
Hollywood Hogan will be announce in the Ultimate line
An Elite Kenny Omega will be announced in 2019

I want a demolition 2 or 3 pack and the road warriors also! I know these were released years ago in singles but damn it I want new ones! Even if they’re re-releases! Nobody cared for The hawk and animal in blue basics that were released!

I think we won't get Hogan until the 2020's but I could see ring gear Virgil and The Disciple. We got three of John Tenta's personas and those guys are probably still under deals.

I would buy it probably. I had a friend that looked like Val Venis. Right before Val debuted on WWF my friend joined the army and we didn't see him for a while. Next thing you know this guy looks like my friend is on TV as a wrestler and we were convinced it was him. But I doubt Val is under any kind of deal with the WWE. Maybe by the time Elite 420 comes around they'll finally have Val and RVD under deals.
